Note: I feel this works best with assertive cheeses, so at least some of them should be sharp or aged varieties.

Preparation

Grate all the cheeses.
Cook the pasta until al dente (it is going to cook further in the oven). Drain the pasta thoroughly- I generally let it sit for several minutes. Put the pasta into a gratin dish, add the grated cheeses and mascrapone and stir to evenly distribute the cheese (you may want to add the cheese in 2 batches for easier stirring). Pour the heavy cream over the top, then sprinkle evenly with buttered bread crumbs and cover with foil. Bake in a 350 oven for 30 minutes, then uncovered for 10 more.
